John Wilbur '19 Recruiting Profile

Hello Coach, my name is John Paul Wilbur. I am currently 16 years old, entering my Junior year at Cuthbertson High School in Waxhaw, NC. I currently stand at 6’5” and am weighing in at 190 pounds. This will be my second year on the varsity basketball team, and have recently been identified as one to provide leadership to a young and upcoming team. Basketball has been a big part of my life over the past six years. I have set a personal goal to play at the collegiate level. I continue to work hard to achieve this goal.  I am currently working with a sports and performance trainer as well as a private basketball trainer in the off season to continue to improve not only my basketball skills, but to strengthen all areas of my performance as well. The focus of my current training is to work on five areas of my performance including mindset, nutrition, movement, recovery and injury prevention.  Recognizing that these areas are essential to performance on and off the court. I am a dedicated athlete who is not afraid of hard work and am aware that training is a year long process. In addition to working on my athletic performance, I am also a dedicated student. I currently have a 3.5 GPA and am enrolled in advanced and honors courses. I am scheduled to take the SAT and the ACT this upcoming school year. I have yet to determine a course of study, however have a rising interest in the area of sports marketing. I have been accepted into the National Honor Society and continue to put my academics as a top priority. I am hoping for the opportunity to show case my talents and abilities.  My goal is to potentially locate a collegiate program that will be a good fit for both the program as well as for me personally, one that will allow for me to grow as a student athlete.  Thank you for taking the time to review my personal information.
